It is surprising to see that many people who come to see me after suffering an injury and having been advised by a healthcare professional to use ice to reduce the swelling.

In 1978, Dr. Gabe Mirkin coined the term RICE; meaning Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. More recent evidence from Dubois and Esculier (2019) proposed a new system of PEACE and LOVE with LOVE replacing the old POLICE protocol which applied to recovery and rehabilitation.

PEACE protocol refers to how we treat an injury within the acute phase ( the first 48-72 hours post injury). It stands for Protect, Elevate, Avoid, Compress and Educate.

It is the Avoid element which is the key departure from the old RICE protocol. It suggests that we avoid ice and anti-inflammatory drugs (eg ibuprofen, diclofenac etc.).

The reason for this is; within the acute phase of an injury, inflammation is a vital part of the healing process. By using ice or medicine to reduce the inflammation, we are interrupting the first phase of healing and therefore slowing down recovery rather than enhancing it. Even Dr. Mirkin himself agrees that RICE is not the correct approach.

So please, the next time you or someone else suffers an injury, don’t reach for the frozen peas; think PEACE.

A brilliant day with Gareth Amos and Jessie Young at the Clinic Growth Live workshop hosted by Thrive Business Coaching at The Leonardo Hotel, Hinckley Island.

Lots to absorb, lots to consider and lots to implement.

Thanks to everyone for organising such a brilliant event and for the fascinating insights into how a successful therapy business can develop and flourish.

I was doing some work on my Facebook profile this morning when I came across a new review that I had previously been unaware of (my apologies to the client who posted it) and thought I’d write a post about it.

With remedial massage, it often takes several treatments to get to grips with an injury or dysfunction. It never ceases to amaze me however, that scar therapy can have such profoundly positive consequences after just one or two sessions.

Many people are living with scar related issues without knowing that the tightness, restrictions , discomfort and limitations on movement are all treatable. Sometimes the effects of a scar can cause problems in other areas that are far from the scar.

Do you have a scar that you think might be problematic? Visit my website today or get in touch to find out more and book your consultation. The lady who wrote this review saw a massive improvement in a longstanding situation for just one hour of work at a cost of just £45.

I will be away from Monday 23rd February to Friday 27th February on a business trip. During this time I will be out of the country so I may not be able to return calls or respond to messages promptly. If you wish to book appointments whilst I am away, it may be quicker to use the Book Now button on my website.

Apologies for any inconvenience 😀

I am really looking forward to HLP Therapy’s 2nd Scar Symposium which is to be held at The Birmingham NEC in March 2027.

Having attended the first symposium in November last year, the next one promises to be bigger and better!

Thanks to Hannah Poulton for her hard work and dedication to the development and promotion of excellence in the field of scar therapy.

I am proud to announce that today, I completed the Lymphoedema Management for Manual Therapists course with The Lymphoedema Training Academy with the fantastic Jane Wigg.

I am really excited to be taking my practice to another level with this amazing training and I look forward to sharing more details as soon as I’ve recovered from a frantic January and can begin to pull my ideas together into a cohesive plan.

Have a great weekend!
